If you've been on the hunt for the best healthy banana bread recipe made with almond flour that is Paleo and gluten-free, this recipe is for you. This banana bread has an incredible moist and soft texture, and loads of banana flavor just like my Almond flour Banana Muffins.
What makes my recipe healthy is the fact that it's made without inflammatory wheat, gluten or grain flours, and it also contains no refined sugars or dairy.
And what makes it so special is the fact that even though this banana bread is made without using traditional ingredients, it still has that same amazing flavor and texture. And it's so easy to make!
The sweetness comes mostly from the bananas. So the more ripe your bananas are, the sweeter your bread will be. But even then, this bread is not super sweet which is something I personally love about it.
In my opinion, this banana bread is so good that it can even be served for dessert topped with some ice cream. In the recipe video, you can see how I topped a slice with my homemade Butter Pecan Caramel Ice Cream. It's so good!
I hope you try this recipe soon and you love it as much as I do. And be sure to watch my video for more tips, and step by step instructions.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback, questions and comments, and seeing your photos after you make this. So please post them below.
